Annual Dinner Recap

The Bike Walk CT Annual Dinner & Silent Auction sold out again this year--we're grateful so many of our bike ped friends from across the state could join us to support the organization at last week's benefit event.  Click below for photos.

New this year were our People's Choice Awards--recognition of Connecticut's bike ped champions as seen by their peers.  Winners of this year's People's Choice Awards included:  Debbie Thibodeau and Ken Messier, both of Simsbury; Senator Beth Bye, Clare Kindall, Lene Bruun, Scott Franklin, Robert Dexter, all of West Hartford; Mayor Erin Stewart, New Britain; Anthony Cherolis and Yanil Teron, both of Hartford; and  Dave Hildebrand, Ellington.

Featured speaker Colleen Kelly Alexander inspired us all with the story of her tragic accident, remarkable recovery, and determination to make Connecticut a better place to bike and walk.

"Breaking bread over this important topic is a wonderful way to see the community spirit of bikers and walkers. I clearly see the benefit to our community, state and nation.  More importantly, thank you for welcoming me to your table and involving me in the Bike Walk Community." -- Dan S.

“Always wonderful to connect with other cyclists. Thanks for this event!" -- David
